Trump Eyes Health Care Talks With Democrats to End Shutdown [View all]

"President Donald Trump said he would negotiate with Democrats over health care subsidies, a move that could open the door to resolving the government shutdown that has stretched into a second week.

“We are speaking with the Democrats, and some very good things could happen with respect to health care,” Trump told reporters Monday at the White House, without naming specific lawmakers. “I’m a Republican, but I want to see health care, much more so than the Democrats.”

The comments appeared to represent a shift for the White House and Republican leaders, who have insisted that Democrats need to vote to reopen the government before they will engage in negotiations over health insurance tax credits. Trump, hours later, said he’d be willing to talk only after the government reopened.

“Trump’s claim isn’t true — but if he’s finally ready to work with Democrats, we’ll be at the table,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement. “If President Trump and Republicans are finally ready to sit down and get something done in healthcare for American families, Democrats will be there — ready to make it happen.”

It is bullshit. I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of their lying mouths.
